From the desk of Jack Steel (CB radio newsletters from the 80's)

I have seen what i think is this same item for sale on ebay in the past, and it looks as though it's up for sale again.

i have never read any of these newsletters but it seems like it could be fun reading, and a bit of nostalgia.

Has anyone here ever seen these, and if so, do you have any that you might like to scan and put up on the forum?

I have a few. I think I have the first issue as well I could scan when I get some time.
I don't know if there would be any copyright infringements, I will have to check.

This was the first issue, a complimentary issue.

thanks Smokinone!

i highly doubt there would be any copyright infringement as there is no company in charge of these newsletters.

Here's another one that went by the way side. A little later, still out of FL I believe.

I was at first skeptical of this publication. Meh. What could this contribute to what is already known? Well, after only getting to page 2, my ears perked up! Cobra 2000 GTL-DX SE Limited?! Say Whaaat? Never heard, never seen. Anybody? I'll be reading more.

Volume 2

Thanks for posting these. I didn't know the 2SC1307 had been discontinued in the early 1980's, thought it was yet another victim of the switch to lead free processes. So it seems there's something to be learned from a 37 year old newsletter after all.

thanks for the share

Nice thank you I have that radio

 

[loosecannon]

Smokinone i would just like to thank you again for posting this stuff!

i collect CB books and such, and have most of them, but these newsletters are something that has escaped my grasp for quite a while now.

now, if anyone has any old Doctor Rigormortis newletters...

Jack Steel showed up as a monthly column in the Copper catalog back in the 80s or maybe the 90s.

Never knew he had his own newsletter.

That is a great radio, and pretty rare. I have a couple of them. I just finished up a re-cap on this last month.

Volume 1 Issue 3

I just have 12 of these, I think the first year. Is there interest in the remaining 9?
